Summary

Peaches were selected as the product to study and 3 parameters, skin mass transfer coefficient, vapour-pressure lowering effect of dissolved solutes and radius were identified as having considerable influence on predicted weight loss at 5-25 °C, 50-100% relative humidity, and 0.005-5.0 m/s air velocity conditions. The effects of these three parameters on weight losses are studied, in order to predict the weight loss with accuracy, knowing the values of one or more of these parameters.
